At the
fifth session of the Elections Council in Ha Noi yesterday, May 30, Trong, who is also
head of the council, said that a preliminary report had reflected the nature of
the general elections.

However,
he said, the report should highlight new points of the elections, in which NA
deputies and people’s council representatives were elected on the same day,
Trong said.

Chairman
of the NA Ombudsman Committee Tran The Vuong said the report should clarify the
significance of the council’s role, the active instruction of the Party, State
and NA leaders and the preparations for the elections.

In the
meantime, Deputy Head of the Communist Party of Viet Nam Central Committee
Commission for Organisation Nguyen Van Quynh highlighted the special interest
and high responsibility of voters in the elections.

Deputy
Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung suggested the report should make an assessment
and analysis of democracy, equality and the results of the elections.

According to council secretary general Pham Minh Tuyen, the successful elections
took place in the atmosphere of democracy, equality and safety in line with the
law.

Almost
all cities and provinces nationwide reported a high rate of voters casting their
ballots on election day with the northern mountainous provinces of Lai Chau, Ha
Giang, Hoa Binh and Lang Son leading the country with 99.99 per cent turnout,
Tuyen said.

The
report will be submitted to the National Assembly Standing Committee next month.
